You can even ride the Chief Two Guns across Swicurrent Lake (starting at the dock outside the Many Glacier Hotel), disembark on the far shore, then hike a short smooth path over the hill and climb aboard the Morning Eagle to continue your boat tour on Lake Josephine! e second boat takes you to the top of the lake, where you can head off on hikes to Grinnell Lake and Grinnell Glacier, saving you miles of hiking—and giving you some boating with a purpose beyond sightseeing.
